Kitchen Play @ f1.7

Posted on 1 Aug 2011   by CY

I’m now – officially – a sworn believer of the Lumix 20mm f1.7. The lens is just incredible! Not that it’s a one-size-fit-all solution for trying to take pictures of little girls who absolutely will not keep still. But the

Did I say that if you’re deciding between nanny-care and infant care for your baby you should try to opt for the former? Unless the infant care centre has a ridiculously low ratio of infants to teachers and a huge well-ventilated

Of the whole range of micro four-thirds lenses in the enthusiast range, there’s one lens that keeps coming up as a must-have for any user of a m4/3 camera; and it’s the Panasonic Lumix 20mm f1.7. The lens is compact,

Posted on 29 Jul 201114 Mar 2018   by CY

Love and Other Drugs (2010) – on rental. By coincidence, this was the second of two rented films I’ve watched in this month about relationships centered on casual sex. Like the earlier film – No Strings Attached – Love and

Green Lantern

Posted on 28 Jul 201114 Mar 2018   by CY

Green Lantern (2011) – AMK Hub. Of the whole bunch of super heroes from DC Comics’ repertoire, I’ve always felt that the Green Lanterns would had been the hardest to translate into a live motion picture adaptation. Unlike the Batman

Since the time we incorporated oral hygiene into her bedtime routine, Hannah has gotten used to the idea of sticking her toothbrush (coated with a tiny amount of sweet toothpaste) into her mouth, to mimicking mommy in brushing her teeth (barely!), and

Space Battleship Yamato

Posted on 27 Jul 201114 Mar 2018   by CY

Space Battleship Yamato (2010) – on rental. While Michael Bay’s film versions of Transformers have gone from so-so to awful, my basis for comparison laid in watching those films as they were. I didn’t grow up on the Transformers cartoons.
